Local ordinances require that electronics be disposed of in a proper manner and not placed with normal household or office trash. Over 85 percent of all electronic waste (E-waste) goes un-recycled, with millions of tons entering the waste stream every year. The average American household has at least 24 electronic items. E-waste can contain more than 1,000 components, many of which are toxic.

Urban E Recycling, www.urbanerecycling.com believes that business and environmental responsibility go hand in hand. With the overwhelming speed of changing technology, we are in a position to make sure your outdated and non-useable electronics will be recycled safely, ethically, and responsibly.
